This place sounds like a disaster, i stay in Dundalk quite a lot but i definitely wont be staying at the ivy house, as there is a good choice of places to stay that are comfortable, clean, courteous staff, guests pay good money and should not have to put up with this type of place

One night was enough, the breakfast wasn't good, the service was lacking and the overall stay was poor. The location is terrific in summer, so it was disappointing not to have a better stay. The price and value definitely don't match.

Booked 2 nights but managed just to get through one. Choice of rooms however doors didn't lock, no shower and not very clean. Owner seemed preoccupied and wandered into our room at 2.30am whilst on phone by mistake. Breakfast cold when we came to eat it and ended up haggling about inflated price when we were leaving. Glad we moved... More

My husband and I made an on line reservation for a two night stay at Ivy House. We were running a bit late on the day of our arrival so, out of courtesy, contacted the guest house to explain this. When they answered they denied knowing we had made a booking until my husband quoted the reference at them. They... More

I visited Dundalk recently for a quiet mid-week break. We had nothing booked. as we walked the town we found a B&B at 17.50 euro per person sharing. It looked fine, s owe decided to give it a try. This has to be the best value in the area. It was spotless, food was excellent and the owner was most... More
